The Ditzyplex

Ditzyplex at the movies: Honey
Saw this the other night, have to say twas a great little feel good movie.
Review: Honey Daniels (Jessica Alba) is an aspiring dancer who dreams of finding fame dancing in music videos, her big break comes courtesy of a hot video director who gives her big break, but how will Honey balance the new world around her with her commitments to the kids in her hip hop dance class and her neighbourhood?
The plot of this movie is hardly high art but it works much better than I expected. I really found myself getting into the feel good movie vibe of the movie. It helps that it's pacey and looks good and the dancing is stunning. Jessica Alba is a very likeable lead and there are some adorable scenes where she manages to pull of being very funny and likeable (fans of Dark Angel will remember that wasn't something she really got to showcase on the show). Personally I think Alba still hasn't really get the chance to shine in a moive but she works really well in this and she really adds to the moive. Honey is not the most in depth or insightful movie you'll ever see but if you want an upbeat and likeable story that puts you in a good mood (and makes you want to dance) than this is for you. Missy Elliot's cameo is hilarious too.

Why the new Britney video will ROCK!
Britney's new video looks set to be fairly flipping good. Why? 1: Jake Nava is directing it.
Nava has done 3 out of the last 4 Beyonce videos (that's Crazy in Love, Baby Boy and Naughty Girl in case you were wondering), Kylie's Red Blooded Woman, Holly Valance's State of Mind (which if you've seen it you'll know is one of the best "slutty pop tart" videos ever), Enrique and Kelis' Not In Love (which is easily one of the most visually stunning videos this year) and Usher's Burn (oh dear... well nobody's perfect!). In other words, he knows how to make girly pop stars look their best and make videos slick and different.
2: The track is produced by Bloodshy and Avant who've done some rather fabulous songs for Miss Spears namely: Showdown, I've Just Begun Having My Fun and another you may have heard of called Toxic
3: It has a budget of 7 something million dollars. We all know that music videos with lots of money spent on them always look very swish and therefore this video will and be very good indeed.
4: The song is all about Britney telling people to let her live etc etc so therefore it's Britney pointing 2 fingers at people and being ace, but the video will cause controversy too (from what I've heard) so therefore she'll be inviting more comments and therefore the video will also be highly ironic. Hoohah.
So you see readers this video will be fabtastic and will piss all over the competition when it arrives. It's simple really.
